In the basement or the ^ttic many
of us will find old toys the children
have discarded. Christmas is al
most here and much joy can be
brought into the lives of less fortu

toys, give them a coat of gayly col

ourselves or turn them over to a
social agency to be handed out to
needy youngsters on St. Nick’s day.

an end to them as the Yuletide

This was at the time the parcel post

years have found mailed packages
